Anya,
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's very confusing and painful, I'm sure. I know it was for me when something similar happened to me. I also wondered whether to call it rape. What I have learned over time is that I *was* assaulted. I believe you were too, from your description. Whether it meets a legal standard of rape is not important right now. What IS important is that you talk to someone who can help. Many people recommended a rape crisis hotline. That's a good choice. Please don't be scared about this. As painful as it is right now, talking about it with a trained professional will help. If you feel you can't call the hotline, please call your T right now. This is a time when you need as much support as you can get from sensitive people.Please take extra special care of yourself, and let others take care of you, too. And keep posting if it helps, we care about you. But also consult professionals, who are trained best to help.
